THE NEW SONY RANGE AT A GLANCE

I'm the editor of City A.M's Life&Style section. We cover restaurants, film, theatre, the arts, technology, travel and motoring. I'm also the editor of our regular glossy magazines Bespoke (style, arts and culture), Living (design, architecture and property) and Travel (travel). When I'm not busy editing I write about restaurants, theatre and the arts. I was once named Young Journalist of the Year.

1. 6” EREADER WITH ENHANCED TOUCHSCREEN

E-readers from Sony have always looked the part; the problem is nobody buys them. This version is the lightest reader in the world, again using E-ink paper. It will offer connectivity to public libraries in the US but the decider will be price.

2. SONY TABLET P MULTITOUCH FLIP-SCREEN
Sony’s most radical new release attempts to reinvent the wheel with a duel touch-screen folding tablet. Its appearance is part Nintendo DS and part iPad, and while watching films on it would be tough, it looks like a good bet.

3. VAIO L SERIES 3D TOUCHSCREEN DESKTOP
The Vaio L Series touchscreen desktop PC is a series of great ideas thrown into a single box; at once brilliant and unusable. And now it’s in 3D! It will be great to watch movies on but still struggles to justify its existence.

4. VAIO S SERIES
The new, lightweight S Series comes with a 15-inch screen and a slimmer design, in a somewhat familiar aluminium hue. It’s a powerhouse of a laptop, not cheap but a real contender at the premium (expensive) end of the market.

5. MDR-NC200D NOISE CANCELLING HEADPHONES
Need to get away from the world for a while? Sony says these headphones can cancel out 98.2 per cent of ambient sound, using AI to scan your surroundings and block out the noise. Expect to pay upwards of £200.
